Worst sweetened cereal: Cap'n Crunch

Worst packaged snack: Austin Cheese Crackers with Cheddar Jack Cheese

Worst beverage: Sunny D Smooth Style (16 ounces equals one DOZEN Chips Ahoy cookies!)

Worst mall snack: Auntie Anne's Pepperoni Pizza Pocket

Worst drink: Baskin-Robbins small Snickers Shake (equals FOUR Snickers bars)

Here's all the rest:

Astounding stuff. With the exception of the cereal, my kids haven't eaten any of that. Not that they eat well-rounded healthy meals three times a day, either....but still...

So... Cap'n Crunch might be bad for KIDS... but... that means it becomes good for you when you're an adult, right? Please say I'm right. sad.gif

Thanks for the nightmares, Rosenberg. - Anne

Sunny D totally markets itself as a healthy alternative to soda too. Bastards!

Now I'll be eatin' me some Cap'n Crunch - and that Snickers thing sounds totally worth a try.

Luckily I like none of those things.  Particularly Sunny D.  It tastes like chemical death.  and I've never liked Cap'n Cruch.  Now Cinnamon Toast Crunch?  Get in my belly.

Emokid is throwing slomo dove at my face, I guess that means he flipped me the bird

If I remember correctly, doesn't Cap'n Crunch SHRED the roof of your mouth?

Much like a random Frosted Flake can slice the inside of your throat, yes. happy.gif

I love captain cruch berries. But yeah, if you eat them dry, they can hurt your mouth. Especially if you eat half the box in one sitting. Not that I would know...

I knew about Sunny D a few years back.

Seriously, Linds always hated it. It's really nasty. You know when you're at the bottom of the OJ carton and the liquid is extra concentrated and thick? Sunny D is like that. Sickly goopy and sweet.

I think Pop Tarts are on the top of my gruesome list. Particle board with jam never struck me as being particulary nutritious.

And some kids up here get into the habit of snacking on ramen noodles (uncooked) with or without the seasoning pack. Blarg.

We are guilty of fraternizing with the Cap'n though on occasion and don't mess with me on Little Debbie brownies. Dems good eatin.

Naughty or nasty?

Uck. Although I like the cereal enough, I hate anything where the recipe contains Corn Flakes - even sweet stuff. I can't imagine coating chicken in it.

I loved Capn Crunch w/crunch berries when I was little. I used to dump the whole box into a big bowl and seperate out the crunch berries happy.gif I would get in so much trouble for that. But ya, like chewing rocks really. The roof of your mouth took a beating.

Mine too, Arwen--one of the very few I'll even eat.

Have you tried the blueberry Mini-Wheats? They're amazing.

Cooked spinach, unless it's in quiche or something, is pretty disgusting. But fresh spinach salad, with toasted walnuts, cranberries, crumbly cheese and whatever else floats your boat, is the best salad in the world. It steals the lunch money and kicks sand in the faces of all other salads! Crisp Cesar, with fresh chicken and not too much dressing is a close second, but still second fiddle to The Spinach.

I would like a fancy-multi course meal comprised of each of the items on that list. With wine parings.

I am

Is the BEST cereal EVER!

Some of that with vanilla flavoured almond or rice milk? ... Heaven!


Before I tried that my favourite was Oatmeal Rasin Crisp. I've never liked the kids cereals.
